Yeah attacking a group, that's exactly what you're doing.

An LW admin is going to have to clarify what "group" means in the context of ToS, it's quite ridiculous to ban dunking on a national/global group.

You're confusing popular at scale, with correct for community. The tyranny of the majority is a problem on Lemmy.

There's no such thing, this line of thinking is what led to the actual problem of the tyranny of the minority that plagues US Politics to begin with, but that's veering off topic.

It's also not like we're running off people who are coming in with good faith arguments and sound sources to begin with.

You're just trying to take a space away from a group you don't like.

Your initial post advocated for that exact outcome, "shutdown and locking" the comm is functionally equivalent to taking "a space away from a group you don't like."

We're not taking a space away, they are free to, and in fact already do, make their own instances. They do not have a right to spread their "content" everywhere they go like some sort of missionary.
